Just on the rear. I am pulling it off this weekend. I sold the bilstien shocks to a friend who is building an auto x car and sold the h&r races to a guy on r3v. here is only pic I can dig up. All the brakes will be changed along with calipers ss lines and new pads. Unless these hawk pad step up there performance...

Thanks man! I thought your going turbo e34?
But if not I have two m50's 1nv and 1 vanos. let me know...
I am close but koni screwed me up there are all sold out everywhere and I sold my suspension setup to buy coilovers. but they should be in by the beginning of next month. now I'm working on interior... Still waiting on wheel to get out of shop.

I might be interested in the nv... In cali now.. Wish wife would let me drive a rust free project home... Lol

Dude if you want them I'll sell them for 450.00 shipped anywhere in USA. I have a second set so I won't be taking away from my vert. I figure I'll give you first shot at them. If you are serious I will post up good detailed pics of the lenses and backs and all. So you can be sure these are what you want.

[ck_taft325is]

Shit, PM me some "detail" shots of the lenses, back sides, etc... I'll let you know within a week or so.

Sounds good. I should have them sent later today or at the latest Monday.

[ck_taft325is]

Awesome. Thanks, man!

So I recieved my ground control coilovers which gave me some inspiration to pull my almost new suspension off.


One thread was totally stripped which sucks cause I wanted to sell as a set.

Konis are on back order. So I wait Patiently... Got my ground control coilover conversion kit but can only do rears until the konis come in...

ffffffuuuuuuu!

That sucks. Either cut it off and weld on a bolt (sans head) of the same size/thread pitch or run a die over it the next size down and cut new threads.

Well after a series of deals with a friend I traded a few parts and wound up getting a fresh set of basket weaves and two new front seats... All in all a good day. I got rid of the bilstiens. I started tearing out the rear brakes but got sidetracked by guys coming down to buy parts... Tomorrow new brake calipers, ss lines, pads, and rotors go on...
Here is pic of new seats I picked up...

This one needs serious cleaning but I think there gonna look good. So much lighter than the e36 m3 seats I was gonna put in.

My goal is to get all the mechanical stuff done by Gutenfest... Exhaust Suspension and Brakes. Then I'll worry about interior after all that is done.

Found this on local Craigslist for a good price...

Came with the bag and book...


So I bought a set of new brakes from a local e30 guy awhile ago and the rear rotors he sold me don't even fit. I don't know why? They are for an e30 supposedly. I went to auto store and just bought two new ones.

Got my ground controls installed in the strut housings today and mounted one side up along with changing all the brake lines, calipers and rotors. Just got the Borbet back from the wheel shop they did a beautiful job. $95 seems reasonable to me. Trying to get the car roadworthy for Gutenfest. I still have to do exhaust, tires and finish suspension up. Then bumpers need sanding and paint and plastic swap shall commence... Oh plus install complete interior... wire up lights check cooling system... I gotta get to work...

[shEck3lls0]

Sure do.
